6 Blogs For Writers And Those Who Lead The Creative Lifestyle

There's something kind of meta about a blog that reviews blogs. But the title says "John reviews pretty much anything," right? As I see it, my blog, my rules, yes? Uh, anyway. There are dozens blogs out there that I've found enormously helpful, and dozens more that I find fascinating or even challenging, and still more that are just downright entertaining. I'm starting with a few favorites that deal with writing or creativity in general. Some are about writing, some are about living the creative lifestyle, and some are just about turning your passions into a career. In any case, they all deserve to be shared.

Book Review: “The Great Reset” by Richard Florida

I'm not sure that anyone other than Richard Florida (author of The Rise of the Creative Class) could thoroughly examine today's economic climate and its long-term implications, and write a book that leaves the reader with a rather surprising feeling of optimism. Nonetheless, he's done just that in The Great Reset: How New Ways of Living and Working Drive Post-Crash Prosperity. It's a absolutely fascinating and even exhilarating, if perhaps a bit too broad, read. More importantly, it expresses a vision that seems to make readers on both sides of the vast political divides want to roll up their sleeves and get busy. Like the best visionary works, it's a very practical and timely call to action.
